Hominy is a type of corn that has been treated with an ancient process called nixtamalization, where kernels are soaked in an alkaline solution. This unique treatment enhances its flavor and texture, making hominy a staple in Mexican cuisine, often found in dishes like pozole. Not only is it gluten-free, but it’s also rich in fiber and essential nutrients like iron, though it can be high in sodium when canned. Versatile and hearty, hominy brings both tradition and health benefits to your table.
